Violence Against Journalists On The Increase; Connie Schultz Talks About Her New Book

Journalists attempting to tell the story of protests after the death of George Floyd have been beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested by police in numbers never before seen in the U.S. -- for doing their jobs. We will discuss this increase in violence against the fourth estate.  Later, we'll talk to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Connie Schultz about her debut novel, "The Daughters of Erietown."
